When i play games the game minimizes when something pops
up such as an instant message or something of that sort.
I would like to have Instant Messanger running at the same
time of my games and I was wondering if I could change the
settings so the game would not minimize when something
popped up during a game. By the way I have Windows XP
lemme know if I can do anything about it.
 
Hi,

If you have a Geforce you can use the desktop manager
to either set the game to always be on top, or to play the
game on a virtual desktop separate from your normal one.

Where exactly is the desktop manager? Is it when I right-
click on my desktop and then choose the desktop tab and
change it from there? If so, please let me know how to
find it.
 
Hi,

If it's enabled, nView Desktop Manager would be accessible
via an icon in your system tray (next to the time). To enable it,
right click your desktop / Settings... / Advanced... / click the
Geforce Tab / click on "Desktop Management" in the left tray,
and then check the box "Enable nView Desktop Manager / OK.

There now. Didn't they make that easy to find? :-)
